The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court has ordered status quo to be maintained with regard to the construction of a panchayat office on the premises of a panchayat union school in Thanjavur district.
A Division Bench of Justices M. Duraiswamy and K. Murali Shankar ordered status quo and directed the district administration to file a counter affidavit on the petition filed by N. Neelakandan of Ponnavarayankottai near Pattukkottai. He said that the Panchayat Union Middle School was built in 1957. Subsequently, in 1986 the village panchayat office was constructed on the same land. An anganwadi, a library, a public distribution system store and a post office were functioning on the same land.
